Loading the dishwasher
Items not suitable for dishwashers
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts, as these
may discolour or fade. The glue used
in these items is not dishwasher-
proof. Wooden parts may come loose
after being washed in a dishwasher.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware are not
dishwasher safe.
– Plastic items which are not heat
resistant, as the high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items: these may discolour or
become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze: these
may fade after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal, as clouding
may occur over time.

We recommend
– When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher safe.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. When washing
delicate glassware in the dishwasher,
ensure that only a special glass-care
programme with very low
temperatures (see Programme chart)
is selected and that a suitable
cleaning agent is used. This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
Please note
Silver and aluminium which has been
in contact with foods containing
sulphur can discolour.

Aluminium components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents.
These may damage the material. In
extreme cases, they can cause a
severe chemical reaction (such as an
explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
